A Eulogy to Deborah Jeane

Nothing could better represent the hypocrisy of the invasion of the Extreme Right than the death of Washington, DC madam Deborah Jeane Palfrey. The almost entirety of the last decade of American politics has stunk of spin. Suddenly in only eight years of a Republican presidency the fundamentals of a nation have become so decentralized, vague, insincere, base, and violent it is difficult to remember what America is and has stood for since her declaration of freedom in l776. What could be a better icon to what could almost be called conspiracy than the “temples” that have sprung up on street corners owing homage to the pharmaceutical companies. Isn’t it ironic how much they resemble the FLDS temple in Schleicher County Texas on the Yearning for Zion “ranch?” The Washington Madam’s death by hanging in a tool shed outside her mother’s mobile home in rural Florida all but characterizes the feeling that New Yorker’s must have had when skyscrapers began to emerge in downtown Manhattan. Immigrants who traveled thousands of miles across oceans to escape the social injustices of their own countries found their cornerstone world ripping apart at the seams. Suddenly the nitty gritty basics of life in downtown New York changed, not unlike how life changed when our American economy shifted to the financial markets. A huge parallel can be seen between the two, as out-sourced manufacturing jobs today represent life on the streets by the “Gangs of New York.” The hustle and bustle of the neighborhood market has been replaced with an almost hypothetical algorithm or strategy of an economy. No longer does the concept of supply and demand apply, because a strange, elusive, and evil coalition disconnected with the gamut of human need and desire has infiltrated American politics. Deborah Jeane Palfrey is the “bottom.” She through death personifies now how bad it can be. Isn’t it both absurd and hypocritical that a woman providing sexual gratification to hundreds of disguised Washington power players should be forced to commit suicide? Who could agree with this? Her death could represent the feelings of many Americans pushed to the brink of insanity through the Right Wing Invasion. Having our true human lives robbed from us through a conservative think tank on selfishness that hides in the shadows taunting art is nothing short of a revelation, and maybe that is what it is. The time must be drawing near when God will return to the earth and resurrect the good and condemn the evil at Armageddon. Do we necessarily want our meager human lives to be plagued with such epic content? I think the majority of Americans would settle for a human compromise under Hillary’s tutelage.
